This is an excellent recipe. I also added some onion powder, garlic salt (in place of any other salt) and some seasoned salt and a couple dashes of cayenne. I added a couple strips of chopped up bacon for the meat eater in the family and topped it with grated cheddar cheese, green onions and parsley. I also thickened it with some mashed potato flakes. It was really good!

My husband and I enjoyed this very much and will be making it regularly in the winter. I made a few changes, though. I didn't use a food processor for the potatoes; just mashed them some with a fork. We liked the consistency better. Also I didn't have fresh garlic, so I used garlic powder. Used Swanson low sodium chicken broth.

This turned out a really wonderful tasting low calorie soup! We sprinkled grated american cheese and chives insead of parsley over... this is a great low cal recipe. I used 2% milk, the results were wonderful. I didn't even miss the bacon or sour cream. Served with a loaf of hot crusty french bread...Mmmmm.

Even though my husband gave it a four, I'm giving it a five, because I liked the addition of thyme, and I thought the flavors of chicken broth, potatoes, & herbs went very well together. I added a sweet potato and really liked the added depth and density. I also added 1/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary and about a teaspoon of onion powder. Very good recipe!

Great comfort food and perfect for the cold, wet weather we've been having. I cooked a few strips of bacon to add to the soup and used the drippings to sauté the onion in. Overall, and easy and delicious dinner.
